5 SCHEMES IN UNREGULATED ENVIRONMENT Prior to enactment of Retirement Benefits Act in 1997, schemes were not supervised and regulated and they faced the following problems:- Lack of harmonized legislation Dominance by sponsors and misappropriation of scheme funds Members not involved Lack of transparency and information disclosure Poor record keeping Poor investments decisions Lack of professional input Funding problems Delays in benefits payments
6 REGULATION OF PENSION SCHEMES Establishment of a scheme is voluntary Registration is mandatory Establishment is under a written law or trust Rules to protect the member and the sponsor Schemes to be fully funded and separated from the sponsor Trustees must develop a prudent investment policy
7 PENSION SCHEME ADMINISTRATION Administration duties vested in trustees Trustees may appoint administrators to carry out their administration duties Trustees fully liable to members and supervisor Scheme rules must make provision for inter alia Membership eligibility Retirement age Vesting and benefits formula Dissolution of and winding up of scheme Contribution rates etc.
8 PENSION SCHEME FUNDING - I Minimum funding level - 80% DB schemes, 100% DC schemes Schemes proper records must be kept Audited Financial statements - to be published Statement of contributions remitted and benefits payout Data of each member - membership statements issued Scheme rules and the amendments thereof Disclose information about the scheme Hold Annual General Meetings
9 PENSION SCHEME- FUNDING - II Trustees to engage services of experts who have no relationship with the scheme. These include: Auditors Fund Managers Custodians Administrators Actuaries Defined Benefits schemes required to carry actuarial valuations every three years
10 RETURNS TO THE SUPERVISOR Annual audited scheme accounts Actuarial valuations for DB schemes Quarterly investment and custodian reports Quarterly record of contributions Any other information as may be required by the supervising Authority
11 INSPECTION OF SCHEMES Supervisor empowered to carry out inspection on scheme, fund manager and custodian Inspection reports may lead to imposition of sanctions against the guilty or appointment of interim administrator Obstruction of inspection or refusal to co-operate is a criminal offence Introduction of risk based supervision (to identify and reduce risks) will assist in identifying schemes to be inspected
12 SCHEMES INVESTMENTS Trustees required: To have clear understanding of purpose, objectives and goals of the scheme (investments options to meet the scheme objectives) To formulate written policy on investment with help of investment advisor To revise investment policy every three years To ensure policy complies with statutory guidelines To appoint and monitor the investment manager To ensure strategic allocation of scheme funds diversified across and within assets
13 EXPERIENCE IN REGULATED ENVIRONMENT Improved Investments diversified pool of assets Increased professionalism Increased member confidence more people now desire to save for retirement Increased member participation and involvement Improved record keeping Member statements issued Scheme accounts summaries issued Scheme transparency and disclosure increased Audited Accounts received by RBA and regularly analyzed
14 SHIFT TO RISK BASED SUPERVISION ( RBS) OTHER SERVICES Previous supervision based on off-site reviews and onsite inspections not tied to scheme specific risk Authority has shifted from a compliance based to more pro-active risk based approach. Approach concentrates on identifying pension risks using defined criteria, monitoring risks and dealing with any identified risk early enough before they become unmanageable and too costly to resolve RBS focuses on the aspects of scheme which pose high risk to the security and delivery of benefits Authority has implemented 75% of Risk Based Supervision based on implementation manual developed from international best practice
15 KEY RISKS ADDRESSED IN RBS APPROACH OTHER SERVICES Counterparty Default Risk: Risk of loss from the failures of a counterparty to meet its obligations Balance Sheet and Market Risk: Risk of losses due to movements in interest rates and other market prices Operational Risk: The risk of losses resulting from inadequate internal processes, people and systems whether these are internal to the regulated entity or in a service provider Liquidity Risk: The risk that an institution will not be able to meet its payment obligations as they fall due without excessive cost Legal and Regulatory Risk: The likelihood of adverse consequences arising from the failure to comply with all relevant laws and regulations Strategic Risk: Risks to the continued viability of an entity as a result of change in the operating environment, including internally driven change such as merger or introduction of new product line Contagion and Related Party Risk: Risk to an entity s business as a result of close association with another entity the risks may be direct through financial exposure or indirect through reputation damage
16 RATING OF KENYA PENSION SUPERVISION viz IOPS PRINCIPLES OF PRIVATE PENSION SUPERVISION - I Principle OTHER SERVICES 1 National laws should assign clear and explicit objectives to pension supervisory authorities Kenya Status Objectives clearly spelt out in Retirement Benefits Act 2 Pension supervisory authorities should have operational independence 3 Pension supervisory authorities require adequate financial, human and other resources 4 Pension supervisory authorities should be endowed with the necessary investigatory and enforcement powers to fulfill their functions and achieve their objectives 5 Pension supervision should seek to mitigate the greatest potential risks to the pension system Independent Board but Minister retains powers to appoint and fire Board Authority funded through levy on schemes Authority has powers to sanction and directly prosecute offenders under the Act Implementation of risk based supervision
17 RATING OF KENYA PENSION SUPERVISION viz IOPS PRINCIPLES OF PRIVATE PENSION SUPERVISION - II Principle OTHER SERVICES 6 Pension supervisory authorities should ensure that investigatory and enforcement requirements are proportional to the risks being mitigated and that their actions are consistent 7 Pension supervisory authorities should consult with the bodies they are overseeing and cooperate with other supervisory authorities 8 Pension supervisory authorities should treat confidential information appropriately 9 Pension supervisory authorities should conduct their operations in a transparent manner 10 The supervisory authority should adhere to its own governance code and should be accountable Kenya Status Authority has taken a flexible approach taking cognisance of historical factors that may mitigate against immediate compliance Constant consultation with industry. Financial sector regulators forum in place. Scheme information kept confidential Periodic updates to industry. Annual accounts and audit report circulated to industry Authority operates an ISO 9001: 2000 certified quality management system
18 FUTURE CHALLENGES Bringing schemes to full compliance Ways of Increasing coverage Adequacy of retirement benefits savings Increased longevity of life Uncertainty of investment returns from the capital markets (market volatility) The increasing costs of providing promised benefits by Defined Benefits Schemes( most employers considering to shift DC schemes)
